It’s available for users with the operating system Windows 98 and prior versions, and it is available in several languages like English, Spanish, and Italian. GPSBabel is a pretty light software that does not require as much free space than many software in the category Software utilities. It’s a program mostly downloaded in Portugal, United Kingdom, and Nepal.

GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another, whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme, Streets and Trips, or even a serial or USB upload or download to a GPS receiver such as those from Garmin and Magellan.

By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability to freely move our own waypoint data between the programs and hardware we choose to use.

It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for server-side processing or as the backend for other tools.

It does not convert, transfer, send, or manipulate maps. We process data that may (or may not be) placed on a map, such as waypoints, tracks, and routes.
